Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized President Donald Trump's endorsement of Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar, suggesting that his support for her undermines the values of his base. Greene expressed her discontent through a social media post on X, stating that Salazar's support for immigration policies is more aligned with Democrats than Republicans, and described Trump's endorsements as an insult to his supporters.

In her critique, Greene called out what she perceives as a disconnect between Trump’s political endorsements and the principles held by his loyal base. The timing of her comments is significant as the GOP is preparing for the 2026 midterm elections, where maintaining control of Congress is a priority. Trump's endorsements are seen as influential but have come under scrutiny by party members who question the compatibility of his choices with conservative values.

Salazar's campaign did not respond immediately when approached by Fox News Digital for comments on Greene's accusations, reflecting the sensitivity and potential internal conflicts within the Republican Party regarding endorsements. Trump's strong endorsement of Salazar, in which he lauded her representation of Florida’s 27th Congressional District, indicates that he continues to support candidates who may not align perfectly with the hardline stances favored by some party members, including Greene, adding complexity to party dynamics as the election approaches.
